April 10 Sneak Peek - In Progress!

Hello everyone.  I just updated the "Sellers" tab with the participants (so far!) for the April 10 opening day show.  Take a peek...we've got a really great mix of art, antiques, vintage, and handmade.  I am just thrilled with the response for this season...the May and June shows are looking equally strong.

Confirmed For All 3 Shows

Our seller group is really shaping up nicely for the spring markets.   I'm still reviewing applications, but had to share that several of our sellers have already committed for all three markets this spring. 

circaD - fabulous vintage clothing and accessories from Philly-based Dana Marston.  I hope Dana is bringing more of her vintage cowboy boots this spring...these sold out in a flash last year!

Dae Rebeck Sanchez - Mixed media oil and acrylic paintings, photo-based transfers and collage on wood panels.  Most recently Dae won “Best in Oil and Acrylics” at the 2009 Chestnut Hill Arts Festival and is growing her commission business providing customers with unique photo-based mixed media portraits.

Jen McCleary - Jen specializes in digital photo collage prints, mixed media paintings and collages, and jewelry made from vintage optician lenses, watch parts & recycled and found objects.  I am SO excited to see her jewelry in person - talk about a one-of-a-kind piece!

joeyfivecents - Bucks county artist Susan Forker creates one-of-a-kind or extremely limited edition jewelry incorporating original 'found' vintage or contemporary paper images. Nothing is resized or reproduced, but is reused as found.  Images are combined with handmade glass, resin, sterling silver and gemstone beads to create the COOLEST jewelry around.

Karen Love Cooler - Based in Narberth, designer Karen Love Cooler will be bringing silkscreened flat bottomed totebags (perfect for carrying your Market finds!) this spring.  Karen uses water-based inks, "orphaned" fabric from her other projects, and often incorporates vintage trim as well.  She is a multi-faced artist who also studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.

Kitsch-N-Kaboodle - artisan Dan Elman incorporates fine finishing techniques to completely restore his pieces using high-grade and extremely fine oil-based surfaces, combined with a comprehensive and authentic approach to the carpentry repairs and overall design.  Check out Dan's great feature article in the Inquirer just prior to the launch of the spring Clover season.

Michael Pyle Photography- Coopersburg PA artist Michael specializes in hauntingly beautiful nature photography, capturing the our local waterways, mountains, and outdoor areas with a distinctly serene style.

Salvation Nation - Cara Herrmann from Salvation Nation sells beautiful vintage and antique jewelry as well as "rescued" vintage and gold jewelry.  Her tent at Clover is always packed with wonderful treasures (and buyers!) so stop by early for the best steals.  Here's a link to Cara's beautiful brooch which was featured in last April's Philly Magazine "Style Scene" article.

Reclaimed Crafts - Cassandra Pope carries a mix of decorative frames, furniture, and accessories, all made from reclaimed Pennsylvania barnwood.  She is a HUGE fan favorite at the Market and the hardest working woman at Clover - she loads and unloads a huge pickup truck filled with treasure every week all by herself.  She also takes custom orders!
